Hello guys,
I am writing this to convey to you my wish for an updated Kernel Standalone. I recently started playing with the ramdisk, edit and creating my own kernel profiles. But I need more.
Of the current kernels out there, the one that caught my attention the most was the xd-kernel, I don't know if it will be because its forum topic is very striking and such ... But it was the first. I have been investigating, and I have realized that the version that I use (1.7) does not bring the CAF files. I didn't know what the CAF files were, until I came across a folder containing 3 sd845.dbt files in zip 2.0.2 of the xd-kernel.
That's when I realized that those files are direct kernel updates for our SOC.
I quickly realized that although I believed that the 1.7 kernel was better because it could raise the gpu frequencies above 710mhz, it was an outdated kernel and without direct SOC support as such.
The TNO kernel has not been tested yet by me, its forum post is very simple and it did not catch my attention ... but today I checked that it has CAF files and that it was published in December.
I have doubts about this kernel ... can gpu be overclocked?
Does it bring recent optimizations such as improvements to the CPU_governor?
Improvements to the Schedutil?
Drivers improvements?
In short ... What this kernel brings, that the xd-kernel does not have (not counting the CAF files).
And finally I wanted to ask for help ...
As I see that no one has the intention at the moment to update those kernels, or to create a new one ...
I would like someone to tell me where to start, for me to create my own kernel for this soc, tips to improve the soc (like the issue of Wakelocks, Oc, implement CAF files ...).
I do not intend to create a kernel that everyone should install. I have never programmed and they seemed to me like gods doing things to a kernel, like putting spectrum and things like that. But there is always a first time for everything, and this time it was my turn to begin to understand how a kernel worked, how spectrum is implemented and what settings are related to governors and I / O schedulers. But I need more, I need to compile a kernel that I say: Damn, if this kernel looks like a kernel from the "pixel3" forum, very complete and well-founded.
Hopefully someone will listen to me and teach me where to start, considering that I have not done this in my life. But reading and reading I have ended up here trying to be better. I think that if I have the necessary means (documentation and links on how to create a proper kernel) I could create something good that will work for all of us much better, but I am satisfied that it works well for me (as I said I cannot pretend that everyone uses my job).
Well guys, sorry for my english, thanks for reading and a hug to everyone (with mask hahaha).
